	<h3>Program Preferences</h3>

	<p> The preferences dialog can be opened by the toolbar or
	through the "Program" menu. The dialog is divided into seven tabs
	described in the following text.  </p>

	<h4>Feed Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_feeds_1.4.0.png">
	</p>
	<ul>
	
	<li>
	<b>Feed Cache Handling:</b> Here you can set the default number 
	of items to be saved for each subscription. Note that this setting
	can be overwritten for each subscription by setting the item cache
	size in the subscriptions properties.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	<b>Feed Update Settings:</b> Here you can set the default update
	interval for all subscriptions. If it is set to 0 auto-updating
	is disabled. Note that this setting can be overwritten for each 
	subscription by setting the update interval in the subscriptions 
	properties.<br>
	The option button allows you to control the update behaviour 
	after startup. You have three possibilities:
	<ul>
	<li>Update all out-dated subscriptions.</li>
	<li>Update all subscriptions.</li>
	<li>Don't update subscriptions and reset their update intervals.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	</ul>
	
	<h4>Folder Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_folders_1.4.0.png">
	</p>
		
	<ul>
	<li>
	<b>Folder Display Settings:</b> With this checkbox you can control
	what Liferea loads into the item list when you click a folder.
	The default behaviour is not to change the item list contents. If
	you enable this option all items of all child subscriptions of the
	selected folder are loaded into the item list.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	<b>Feed Icons (Favicons):</b> This button allows you to trigger
	an update of all favicons of all subscriptions.
	</li>	
	</ul>
	
	<h4>Headline Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_headlines_1.4.0.png">
	</p>
	
	<ul>
	<li>
	<b>Reading Headlines:</b> Here you can set the hotkey for skimming
	through all unread headlines.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	<b>Web Integration:</b> Here you can configure your favourite
	social bookmarking website. This setting is used when you invoke
	"Post Bookmark" from the item context menu or the HTML view.
	</li>
	</ul>
	
	<a name="browser">
	<h4>Browser Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_browser_1.4.0.png">
	</p>
	
	<ul>
	<li>
	<b>Internal Browser Settings:</b> Here you can configure three
	things. First you can select the browser module to be used to
	render the HTML of the item view. Then you can specify wether
	or not Liferea should open clicked links in the configured 
	external browser or in the item HTML view. The third option
	allows you to switch off Javascript.
	</li>

	<li>
	<b>External Browser Settings:</b> When you click links in then 
	item HTML view Liferea launches the a browser command you can
	define with this preferences. The first option button is to
	select your favourite browser or "Manual" for a user defined
	browser command. With the second option button you specify
	how the link is opened inside the previously selected browser.<br>
	<br>
	Only when selecting "Manual" as browser you can enter a 
	browser command in the command entry. When entering a command
	don't forget to include a <i>"%s"</i> within the command which
	will be replaced with the URL that was clicked. Please keep in 
	mind to double quote the place holder to avoid shell problems 
	with the hash character (#) when launching the browser.
	</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>GUI Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_gui_1.4.0.png">
	</p>

	<ul>
	<li>
	<b>Notification Settings:</b> Enable the first checkbox if you 
	want to use the notification area feature. This feature is also 
	known as system tray icon. The program will add a icon to the active 
	notification area application (as provided for GNOME and KDE) which 
	will change when new items arrive and 'll be reset as soon the program 
	is used again. The icon can be used to show the program window if 
	currently hidden or hide the program window if it is visible.<br>
	<br>
	The second option allows you to enable a notification popup
	window which present a list of the titles of new headlines
	of updated subscriptions.	
	</li>
	
	<li>
	<b>Menu Settings:</b> Here you can select wether you want to
	display both menu bar and tool bar or only one of them.
	</li>	
	</ul>
	
	<h4>Proxy Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_proxy_1.4.0.png">
	</p>
	
	<ul>
	<li>
	<b>HTTP Proxy Server:</b> Here you can specify how Liferea
	should determine the proxy configuration. The suggested default
	configuration is to figure it out automatically from the 
	environment variables and the GNOME configuration.
	<br />
	<br />
	If Liferea incorrectly detects the proxy or you want to configure
	a different proxy then you should use the "No Proxy" or "Manual Setting"
	option.
	<br />
	<br />
	There is currently no SOCKS support.
	</li>
	</ul>

	<h4>Enclosures Preferences</h4>

	<p align="center">
	<img src="help_prefs_enclosures_1.4.0.png">
	</p>

	<p>
	This tab allows you to configure how Liferea should handle
	enclosures. If you are still unsure what enclosures are
	about please read the <a href="enclosures_en.html">Enclosures/Podcasting</a>
	section first.
	</p>

	<a name="enclosures">

	<ul>
	<li>
	<b>Downloading Enclosures:</b> Here you specify which download
	tool Liferea should use to download enclosures and in which path
	the downloaded files should be saved in.
	</li>
	<li>
	<b>Opening Enclosures:</b> Using the "Properties" and "Delete" button
	you can edit the list of known enclosures types. Typically you only
	want to do this if you want to remove or change program associations.
	You don't need to create this definitions manually because Liferea
	will create a new one and ask you which program to use when you 
	open or save a type of enclosures.
